A bit of a different relfection today
So last time I reflected a bit on life at Stetson as a whole this time I will be reflecting a little bit more about the people I've encountered while in college.
I've had a lot of friends come in and out of my life in the last four years. Some have happened and faded completely while others have come and gone and come back again. I've even had those I that I thought that no friendship would exist with and been completely surprised.
When I moved in as a freshmen I was assigned a nearly random roommate by the school. We met on move in day. She had a big "oh no... this girl is crazy" kind of thought when it came to me. I can be a little out there most times and can be hard to deal with. I was just as unsure when it came to her. I had no idea what kind of person she was and to all appearances I saw a complete slacker. I was wrong, and so was she. We ended up living together for two and a half years. We probably would have lived together for the rest of our college careers but she fell madly in love with a great guy and moved in with him. I am very happy for them! She and I still meet for drinks on occasion for martini Wednesdays in town and such. We have a great time together. I am glad that we were stuck together freshmen year. I gained a great friend and we were both proven wrong. She was definitely not a slacker. She was a great student as a finance major, and a head hauncho in the Roland George program. I am so proud of her and all of the things that she has accomplished while I've known her.
My college roommate is by far not the only person I've known while at Stetson. I've known a lot of great people and some not so great people. I know that as much as I'd like to get rid of some people I've met and been "friends" with at Stetson, I've learned a lot from them. I know there are a few exes and other guys who have crossed my path that I'd very much like gone but that won't be the case. They've stuck around for years and thought I've had little contact with them, they still lurk there haunting me. I always like to block out the mistakes I've make in my life, only taking the knowledge I've gained from them. It never really works.
I have to laugh about it though. I will also finish up this a bit later.
